This week we welcome author, author and author, Jon Wallace back to the podcast to talk De Niro, Snipes and Tony Scott's sports thriller? baseball drama? hyperbolic, overblown actioner about the plight of the little guy who believes in quality knives and the baseball player who just wants his lucky number back?

So here it is. We almost thought it would never happen. The New York Dohlerites are back together again talking about Crawler, the last ever Don Dohler written, produced and shot movie. 15 years in the making but here thanks to our old friends Robert Long and Mitch Klein. It's Don's last collaboration with Director Joe Ripple. The film that brought together the cast from Dohler's original movies a...

For the first episode of our victory lap, Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur joins Jon Cross to talk about life, the universe, Dan Aykroyd, freakish red heads, goose stepping with the stars, the Billy Zane shag barn, George Lucas CGIing Hayden Christensen into old horror films that the stars would rather forget and the furry, violent alien balls with teeth, Critters! Buy Matt's new book...

It's finally here! Our TENTH Anniversary Podcast episode and in keeping with the friends we've made and the indie filmmaking we've discovered while doing the show, our entire episode is all about the brand new Motern Media and Shock Marathons movie, Heard She Got Married from filmmakers Matt Farley and Charlie Roxburgh. Strap in because it's an old school, long and jam packed episode of the Diner...

On this episode we explore the best laid plans of podcasters can be tricky waters in Hollywood these days but can also, if said podcasters are flexible of spirit (rather than flexible of spine or limb), lead to even more interesting discussions about disappointment, indie horror directors trying to go mainstream, what are you able to do on a budget when you've got the skills and how a seemingly po...

This week we are back with banter, Robin Doyle's Postcards from The Shedge (or Shednannigans), a comment from Adolf Nipple, Statham impressions, an in-depth chat about what was and what could've been "Wrath of Man" and then round it out with a discussion about what Guy Ritchie considers banter. So this episode is bookended by banter. Rather perfect really. Enjoy! Become a supporter of this podcast...

The boys are back in town! We go over the good news, the bad news, the reigniting of Jon's interest in modern horror films, the checking of yourself as you become middle aged so you don't BECOME middle aged (if you know what I mean) and we apologise profusely to Andy Lunn. We also talk the Netflix original, Stephen King adaptation, 1922 starring Thomas Jane. It's a slow, brooding, brutal and intri...

Something cobbled together this way comes! So it's been a minute since we did our last show and despite trying, with the best will in the world, to record a couple of episodes in the passing weeks, what we have here is a hastily cobbled together episode from two recordings that were mired by technical issues and tired, grumpy hosts. Anyway, hopefully our Nic Cage theories and antics, a healthy dol...

When you get to episode 337 trying to write anything in this space that any of you care about becomes a real struggle. On this episode Jim Wallace implausibly manages to get Jon Cross to watch and talk about (at length) the low budget Bruce Willis, Sci-Fi movie Breach directed by someone very lazy who once made a Dove commercial.

On this episode we talk our wonderful shed based listeners, give away mugs, talk about the new Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures album "I've Been There", try and figure out why we don't talk about John Carpenter films that often, when he's one of my favourite directors and then get into all things Christine. We talk about Stephen King's reaction to the film, John Carpenter's style, the special effec...

In this episode, where our hosts, Jon Cross and Jim Wallace do not take all the cocaine but know a particular well known horror author and one time film director who did - we talk about the absurd mess of a movie that is Maximum Overdrive, a film that it is impossible not to take some issue with and yet I am so very happy it exists. We discuss North Carolina, starting your own cult, beardy wisdoms...

Our token Massachusetts bro, Scott Toomey and my dear wife, Kimberly Cross join me to talk all about Beautiful Girls for its 25th Anniversary.

On this, the last episode of our Outrageously Bad Eric Idle Film Season (pause for audience's sigh of relief), we talk about Too Much Sun, a Robert Downey Sr. movie featuring the unlikely cast of Eric Idle, Leo Rossi, Ralph Macchio, Robert Downey Jr., James Hong, Andrea Martin and more. It's so awful I don't even want to describe it in this episode description. Suffice to say we are happy this par...

On this week's very special episode our intrepid hosts find out that not all movies in the Outrageously Bad Eric Idle film season are outrageously bad, even when Eric Idle himself might say they are. Jon Cross and Jim Wallace discuss long lost, rare comedy caper Missing Pieces from 1991 starring Eric Idle, Robert Wuhl, Leslie Jordan, Richard Belzer and Lauren Hutton. Jon also gets to talk to speci...

In this, the second episode of the Outrageously Bad Eric Idle Film Season, Jim Wallace and Jon Cross take on the duality of Idle, the riddle of Splitting Heirs, the miscasting of everyone, the relentless Idle theme tunes, the insecurity, the laziness, the multitude of similarities between Splitting Heirs and A Fish Called Wanda, how we all start off wanting to be John Cleese and probably end up be...

It's the show everyone waits for every year - it's our annual New Year's special. This time we're down to just Doc, Moe and myself as we discuss four weird and wild Christopher Walken movies: The Eternal, The Prophecy, The King of New York & Communion.
